World's Weirdest town-At the church in Chamula, in Chiapas, Mexico, residents believe that drinking coca cola will rid them of darkness



Inside the church in Chamula,  Disney stickers plaster the walls and a cassette plays Christmas music - whatever the time of yearThe village that uses Coca-Cola to combat evil, a dwarf city... and the place where the dead outnumber the living 1,000 to 1.

Chamula is a smallmtown in Mexican highlands, people from that village do not like taking pictures or allow people to snap them. They believe taking pictures of them is taking their souls. They told tourist in their town Aside from its generally spooky ambiance, the real draw of Chamula, which you can get to on a day trip from the central highlands town of San Cristobal las Casas, is the church, inside which some true sorcery takes place. Hundreds of candles burn for Mayan spirits, Disney stickers plaster the walls and a cassette plays Christmas music - whatever the time of year.  Pine needles coat the floor, and townspeople sit with live chickens in their laps, sipping on coca cola and the local moonshine. Every so often, a chicken is sacrificed.

It's widely believed that the babies in Chamula are fed Coca Cola to make them burp, which in turn expels dark spirits.
Chamula is just one of the world's creepiest towns.
